I’m tempted to go with the LT for my next set for this reason. I’m close to 25k miles on the SL and will probably need a replacement in the next few months. Haven’t had any issues yet, thankfully.
23 R1S (elevation audio)…I swear to god my audio is much better this morning post update. The ability to save EQ settings is nice but a vibration/rattle that was happening in my subwoofer is suddenly resolved and now I can turn up bass and overall sounding great. Using Apple Music.
I now have about 8000 miles on these tires...So far, the Open Country EV is definitely more efficient but remains to be seen by how much. I am at comparable efficiency on the trip meter but that is with the open country being installed in January and half of the time I've used them was in the...
Haven’t been to the mountains yet. Did have to avoid an idiot who almost crashed into me immediately after getting them installed haha. Initial impressions is that it is the same or better as far as handling goes. For AP, it handles very well in Firm with excellent grip in corners but still...
If off roading is a big priority, you could go for the LT version which will be a bit heavier and less efficient but probably better off road.
I took my pirellis up Mt Antero on the stock Pirellis. I don’t have any personal experience with the Toyos yet off road but Toyo has a strong reputation...
My lifetime for the Pirellis was 2.2 mile/kWh and was around that for most of the summer. Definitely improved as the tread depth wore down. So again difficult to say for sure how the efficiency will shake out, but at worst it should be the same.
Wanted to post a quick early review of this tire - I have been waiting a while for it and it now appears to be easily available at Tire Rack. The LT 275/65/20 version has been out for a while but I was looking for the above version instead and found it at TR...
The R1S (20" AT) suspension improvements are real. Installed last night and it's noticeably better. The main difference to me is that it feels less "jittery".
I ended up switching to All Purpose-Firm and that may be my preferred setting now. I prefer a stiffer suspension but was mostly riding...
If anyone in Denver area is looking to check out - they have a white Dual Standard Gen 2 R1S available to test drive.
I had like 5 minutes in the vehicle before someone came to test drive it but my initial impression was I was super impressed with how quiet it was inside, the cameras are...
